RANDOM GAME OF THE DAY:


Viewtiful Joe (2003)
Developer: Capcom Production Studio 4
Platform: Nintendo GameCube
Purchase Date: 2003


Cell-shading + 2D graphics = nirvana.

Viewtiful Joe is so good that when it was first released I thought it would revolutionize the whole industry by influencing the increase of 2D game development. Sadly, that didn't happen but we are still left with one of the smartest 2D beat-'em-ups of all time. The main gimmick involves the manipulation of time and space using Slow, Zoom In, and Mach Speed "VFX" powers to your advantage. Not only are they fun to use but they are also visually stunning in action. Life is "viewtiful"!

LIBRARY STATUS: 5 out of 5
